Start with the sounds. Build your Chinese. Explore Mandarin pronunciation and vocabulary in one thoughtfully designed app. Pinyin Chart brings together an interactive sound chart, a full set of pronunciation lessons, and a vocabulary list to help you build your foundation in Chinese. Whether you're learning your first sounds or returning to strengthen the basics, start where you need the most help. HEAR THE SOUNDS OF MANDARIN Explore pinyin, the system that uses letters to represent Mandarin pronunciation. Listen to native-speaker audio, compare sounds and tones, and return to the chart whenever you need a reference. UNDERSTAND HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM Go beyond listening with pronunciation lessons that explain how Mandarin sounds work. Work through the guidance at your own pace and revisit the sounds you find challenging. BUILD YOUR VOCABULARY Take the next step with the vocabulary list. Start learning Chinese words alongside your pronunciation study, with both resources together in the same app. USE IT YOUR WAY • Start with the chart when a sound is unfamiliar. • Explore the lessons when you want an explanation. • Turn to vocabulary when you're ready to learn more words. • Revisit the fundamentals alongside a class, textbook, or self-study routine. FROM A PINYIN CHART TO SOMETHING MORE We began with a focused goal: make the sounds of Mandarin easier to explore. Now we're bringing pronunciation and vocabulary together, building on that foundation to help you take your next steps in Chinese. New here? Start with a sound. Know the chart already? Discover what's beyond it. Your next step in Chinese starts here. ⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛ Our Production Team App Development: Jack Wang Graphic Design: Linda Lin Product Lead: Connie Cong Legal & IP: Alicia Wang Producer: Edward Tsang ⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛ Check out http://www.pinyinchart.com/ for more info.

Good for what it is

I've been studying Chinese for 7 years (off and on), have many hardcopy books, and have many iPhone apps. However, I always have use of more native speaking. For what this app claims to be, just a listing of all the pinyin sounds, it does a great job and is very useful, even for English speakers who have been studying Chinese for quite some time. As you know (if you've studied Chinese for very long and have listened to many Chinese people talk), native Chinese speakers vary their speech a great deal depending on where they came from in China, and it's useful to hear many different native speakers when learning Chinese. This simple app is good for basic pinyin sounds. The only thing I don't like is the ads.UPDATE: If you don't buy the "pro" version (not sure what you get for that), the nag screen freezes up the application and it's unusable. I deleted this app.

After upgrade to latest release, the Audi no longer works on iPad nor iPhone… disappointing. Been using this app for years!

Good pinyin app

Audio only works with headphones, but this is fine as it helps me while reciting along with the recording of a native speaker. It would be nice to be able to choose male or female voices though. Layout is rational and easy to use, but I would request one feature: the ability to highlight an entire column or row of sounds and listen to them recited with one or multiple tones (a, ba, ca, cha, da, etc.) Overall a high quality pinyin app which I would recommend over others.
